Logan synopsis teases 'weary' Wolverine, mysterious young mutant

The future isn’t looking too bright for Wolverine. The first official plot synopsis for Logan, released online by Hugh Jackman, notes a bleak final chapter to the actor’s stint as the titular mutant.

The description reads, “In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.”

Patrick Stewart reprises his role of Charles Xavier for Logan, while the “young mutant” is Laura (a.k.a. X-23), played by Dafne Keen. As for the “dark forces,” Boyd Holbrook’s Pierce and The Reavers were confirmed to be the villains of the film.
